Trying to re-install SP3 (did so a few months back). Anyway, when I try to
install now, I get ...\ndis.sys is in use...
I've never had this before and almost every web hit I'm finding is talking
about scsi driver updates and a plethora of gibberish which doesn't seem to
have anything to do with this.
I've disabled my AV, killed all unnecessary apps, stopped IISadmin etc.
Still no go. I have no viruses or malware on my system (I just ran two
complete scans with three different tools that I use).
Security TaskManager and Process Explorer don't show anything untowards.
I've even stopped the Workstation, Server, TCPIP helper and almost
everything NON-Essential. Disabled the NIC etc.
The file is not write protected, the System and Administrators group have
FC. Cannot install in Safe Mode as well.
What the heck am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
ps: the reason for this is that when I launch Logical Disk Manager I only
get to see my CDrom. I cannot launch the Disk defrag utils. No errors in the
Event Log. Also, I use Perfect Disk, but of course it needs Logical Disk
Manager as well. Again, the ONLY thing that shows up in Logical Disk Manager
is my USB CDrom, no drives at all, but I can access these "apparently" fine.
